BGP033 | Supermarket pretend play
By Dr. Rajeev Tamhankar
In this Supermarket pretend play activity from Dr. Rajeev Tamhankar’s Born Genius Program, children simulate a supermarket experience. They can role-play as shopkeepers or shoppers, exploring different sections such as produce, dairy, and bakery. The activity helps children understand supermarket categories, develop vocabulary, and learn about basic financial literacy through playful interactions.

- Role-play as shopkeeper or shopper; use items like toy food and a shopping cart or pram.
- Guide the child through selecting items, paying at the checkout counter, and handling a shopping bag.
- Optionally, add extra sections like books or special items to mimic a real supermarket.
- Familiarizes children with supermarket categories and shopping routines.
- Enhances vocabulary related to different types of products and shopping processes.
- Teaches basic financial concepts such as pricing and handling payments.
- Provides a fun, interactive way to develop social and cognitive skills.
